What a great way to go grocery shopping. Another day cruising on Chris's boat (the Lucy Jane) on the Greater Ouse River. Left the mooring about 11 and cruised down the river through a couple of locks to Huntingdon, birthplace of Oliver Cromwell and Samuel Peyps. Moored on the river bank with the mooring spikes, and walked into town. Into Marks and Spencers food section (Michelle's favourite shop!) where we all chose individual meals for tea! Had a picnic lunch by the river, then back cruising, this time with Henry and then Tom at the helm. Into the lock at Godmanchester (yes that's a real place!), where we filled the lock to go upstream. Lock gate wouldn't open to let us out (bl**dy electronics), so had to empty then fill it again, and it worked this time. Back to Cambridge about 6 after a great day. Gourmet tea and the ubiquitous bottle (or 2) of wine. Not looking forward to packing up but . . . .
